Brando is a branding solution based on Ross XPression that provides support for displaying Bugs, Snipes, Next, Bumpers, and Switcher graphics.
Brando reads XPression projects to discover the resource scenes created for channel branding. Brando uses a naming convention for the scenes in the XPression projects to distinguish between the different types of resources.
Brando workflows include the following:
Create Graphics & Load Into Brando
Set up your channel’s branding scenes using Ross XPression Studio. Designers can continue using their favorite tool sets to reduce the learning curve and quickly bring rich graphics into XPression. Three dimensional models can be animated by segment for captivating effects. Using predefined resource tags in your scenes, an entire channel can be run with less than a dozen dynamic boards.
- Add a Channel
- Create Resource Scenes

Web-based content authoring and play out scheduling with secure access allows you to control Brando from any desktop, laptop, or tablet with a browser. Easily schedule Bugs, Snipes, Next Ups, Bumpers, and Promotions across multiple channels. Quickly schedule months of programming.
Set Up Output
The Brando Player combines your scenes with the scheduled content at broadcast time.
